That’s not a lot for a player like Rakitic, although he is 31-years-old and United are supposedly looking to build a team around youth, so there’s reason to believe this is an example of exaggerated reporting.

United are said to be working on a deal to bring Bruno Fernandes from Sporting Lisbon to Old Trafford.

Moreover, Newcastle midfielder Sean Longstaff is seen as another potential signing.

United definitely sound like they’re considering their options for midfield signings and need to bring in at least two in this transfer window.
